Jaydy Michel is a Mexican actress and fashion model. Her father, Octavio Michel Peiro, is a Mexican dentist. Her mother, Marie Annette (Brixon) de Michel, is American, from Los Angeles, California. Jaydy is married to footballer Rafael Márquez. She was previously married to Spanish musician Alejandro Sanz.

Jaydy’s patrilineal ancestry can be traced back to her third great-grandfather, Guadalupe Michel.

Jaydy’s paternal grandfather was Gustavo Alfonso Michel Martínez (the son of Juan Nepomuceno Michel Sanjuán and Micaela Martínez Arreola). Gustavo was listed as “mestizo” on his marriage record. Juan was the son of Leonardo Michel Betancourt and María del Refugio Sanjuán Gil. Micaela was the daughter of Luis Gonzaga Martínez Ledesma and Nicolasa Arreola Rodríguez. Nicolasa’s parents, José Lino Arreola Cortés and María Petra de los Ángeles Rodríguez Ángel, were listed as “mulatto” and “mestiza”, respectively, on their marriage record.

Jaydy’s maternal grandfather was Elsworth Willis Brixon (the son of Alfred Reinhardt Brickson, later Brixon, and of Gova Willis). Alfred was the son of Norwegian immigrant Ingebrigt Thorstensen Lahd (later Albert Thomas Brickson), of Hafslo, Sogn og Fjordane, and of Mathilda Johanna Dolen, whose parents, Olavus Jensen Døhlen, later Dolen, and Anne Marie Olsdatter Holte, were also Norwegian immigrants, from Nannestad, Akershus. Gova was the daughter of English immigrant Walter Willis, of Faccombe, Hampshire, and of Achsa Cornelia Gifford.

Jaydy’s maternal grandmother was Dorothy Marie Brady (the daughter of Patrick Lawrence Brady and Marie Desanges Almeria Carrier). Patrick was orphaned at an early age, and was the son of Irish immigrants. Almeria was born in Sainte-Agathe-de-Lotbinière, Quebec, Canada, to Joseph Théophil Lebrun dit Carrier and Marie Léa Béland. Joseph was the sixth great-grandson of Zacharie Cloutier (c. 1590-1677), a prominent early Quebec settler.

Jaydy’s matrilineal ancestry can be traced back to her tenth great-grandmother, Renée Armange, of Angers, Anjou (now Maine-et-Loire department), France.
